This happened to me, also a year after my honeymoon .. I paid. My assumption being it would be at best a pain and at worst a hard blocker to ever again renting a car in Italy.
my wife and i had our honeymoon in italy exactly a year ago just got an italian speeding ticket in the mail (1 year later lol) do i have to actually pay this thing? what happens if i don't
